on tho water. Teamer won the toss and chose
the side nearest the island, where the water was

LONDON DETECTIVES ARREST A WOMAN AND HER
MAID AT 4 FASHIONABLE RESORT.
The latest dynamite sensation Ia England is the
arrest OF well-dressed woman and her maid at
the fashionable resort OF CoWes The arrest was
made by London detectives, who claim to have
obtained Information that the woman, or at least
the mistress, was acting as an accomplice OF
dynamtterS. The statement Is made that forty
pounds OF the dangerous explosive was found IA a
satcheI In the possession OF the suspected parties
The theory Is that this means was taken or smug-
CLING the dynamite into London without arousing
suspicion, or that the intention may have been 70

however There are hints that the Irish party
are not suspected In this case, but that It is a

A telegram to the New York Sun from Philadel-
phta says: Although the Democratic State Con-
vention will not meet until the 31st instant the
two factions In the party are already drawing
their lines for o light. Two candidates will be
named only, those being for State Treasurer and
Supreme Judge. Few candidates are in the field,
owing to the heavy adverse majority. At the
present writing Representative Wherry, OF Cum
berand County, is In the lead for the State Treas
ury nomination. He is an able and aggressive re-
form democrat and made a record fn the legisla-
ture. Judge Arnold, at present on the Common
Pleas bench OF this city, and ex-RepreSentative
RapSher of Carbon County, are the leading candi-
dates for the Supreme Judgeship. II Is thought
that Rapsher will WIN.

THE FUND FOR DISTRICT MILITIA NOT SUFFICIENT.
Gen. Ordway to-day made o reQuisition for the
uniforms of the District National Guard, 1,4OO
strong The apportionment of the militia funds fol-
the District, which amounts TO about s., 500, will
not suffice for fhe complete uniforms Of the entire
command, so that no reQuision has been made fol-
blOuSeS. Several Of the organizations are
already supplied with this article OF
clothing, and the others will be expected to pro.
AS they cost but 81. so EACH the expense will not
be very heavy. In this way the entire command
can be uniformed simultaneously, WHILE Ii COM
plete outfits should be drawn, only q portion
OF the troops could be uniformed
this year. Gen. Ordway expects
tSal the latter part OF this week for short visit
to Europe. During his absence Major w. G. Moore
will be in command OF the District National
Guard. Gen. Ordway postponed his departure
until he had issued the general orders which will

three years, and having accumulated q little
money, were on their way home to enjoy it.
There were twenty-five men in her crew. The
crew and passengers retired about IL O'Clock

to be sinking. The motion awakened
u number OF the sleepers on the floor OF the cabin
and some sprang from their berths and opened
their stateroOm doors, but before they could do
anything further the ship listed heavily TO the
port with the crashing sound Of big tree falling
and then the deck sank down out or sight and the
water OF G0wanus Bay came pouring over the port
rail- The shock threw everybody over to the port
side OF the ship, while trunks and packing cases
from the stateroOmS on the STAFFORD side and the
moveabeS about came crashing on top of the
helpless mass OF people on the lower side OF the
cabin. TO add to The misery OF the occasion the
mafnInaSt had crashed through the side of the
